(*oh, sorry, Sinn Féin, who have no affiliation to the IRA whatsoever...riiiiiiight ;) ).

Also, Howard Goodall (the one on the left). He's composed lots of TV themes and such including Blackadder (to my knowledge none of them have been stolen). Has also done a few educational series on music for channel 4, including the brilliant 'How Music Works'.
